Earlier we announced that Nexus by Ramez Naam is shortlisted for a Kitschies Award. Recently, Mur Lafferty had a chat with him. Mez is always worth 10 minutes of your time. Here he talks about the world of Nexus and its sequel, Crux, and the science that informs his work.

Mez is a futurist and has some fascinating things to say about Artificial Intelligence, nanotech, and the future of mankind.

Last month, WorldCon played host to several Angry Robot authors, and I was able to sit down with Chuck Wendig and Adam Christopher to talk about their new books. We also brainstormed the next books they will be writing. Listen to find out.

We welcome back Matt Forbeck to the show to talk about his historical horror, Carpathia. We also remind you of the Angry Robot and Strange Chemistry Open Door 2012, and encourage you to read the guidelines!

We’re back from our hiatus, with a bit of a format change. I’m joined in my hosting duties by Lee and Marco, who talk about where Angry Robot is right now, and then we talk to author Peter Crowther of Darkness Falling (out now!) We cover the book, Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, and the Twilight Zone (both the classic and the 1985 version.) After we talk to Pete, you get a peek at the audiobook!
